8 Winter Energy-Saving Tips

During the winter months, it’s tempting to crank the heat and hibernate, but doing this can make electric or gas bills soar. Luckily, there are several simple ways to conserve energy and keep costs down when it’s cold outside. Additionally, Massachusetts offers fuel assistance programs to qualified households to help people stay warm without blowing their budget.

Commonly known as “fuel assistance,” the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides eligible households with home energy conservation services as well as fixed payment assistance for a household’s primary source of heat. Eligibility is based on household size and the gross annual income of every household member 18 years of age or older. Homeowners and renters and must apply in person at the fuel assistance agency in their area; applications are accepted from November 1st to April 30th every year.
